Ahhh, lovely ending. I liked the proposal, very unique, to me at least.

Well! There you go. I've read them all. And damn worth it if I do say so. There are two things I find when I find really great writing. One is excellent exposition, the other is a powerful sense of immediacy. You've got both here. These always seem to verge on the profound, and occasionally, hit upon it.

Not to get too bogged down in the missed chances of JKR, but if THIS were how she did the last book, it would be a much stronger contender for my favorite book. The HHR ship makes sense, it's writers like you who bring it to life. Hell, you bring Harry Potter to life. That's not to say you always manage to avoid clichés, but your writing is earnest, and that makes up for it. I'll admit that I'm in a giving mood tonight, but even if I'm being overly dramatic in my praise, it doesn't mean I liked these any less.

Really you deserve a longer, better review than I'm giving you, but it's late where I am, and I'm tired, so this is the best I can do. I'll definitely be making a concerted effort to check out the rest of your stuff.
Author Feedback: Why, thank you, FinalFight! I apologize for replying to this review so late; however, I honestly don't check this series for reviews as often as I suppose I ought to.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this series! This was the first thing I posted here on Portkey, and I enjoyed every minute of writing it. It's extremely flattering when I receive a review like yours.

You said I deserved a 'longer, better review', but I have to say this review was extremely rewarding to read, and I appreciate every word! I'm still learning with my writing, but this was one of the best things I've ever written, and I'm ridiculously proud of it. That said, I am still learning to avoid cliche (though I admit I actually use it knowingly sometimes and attempt to breathe life into it), and I hope you enjoy anything else of mine that you read!

Aww. Amazing ending. I loved Harry\'s mini freak out. I loved the whole series though.
Author Feedback: Harry's 'mini freakout'. Never heard it put that way, but it does sum it up nicely! Thank you, I'm glad you liked this series. I was terribly nervous about it, as you can probably tell from my neurotic author's notes. I still write them like that, sadly. Anyway, thank you for reviewing!

great storyline. short, sweet, and enjoyable. this is how the canon should have happened. Then again, as Orson Scott Card once wrote ,"the true story is not what is written on the page. the true story is what you get out of a book. make a stiry into what you need it to be in your mind."

I've been in the mood for "gentle fluff", and then suddenly you pop up on the Fanfiction Archive. Thank you for that, it was quite the refreshing breath of air, especially when paired with the song I have on repeat: You are Beautiful from Flower Drum Song by Rodgers & Hammerstein. I normally don't pair stories with songs (songfics are most annoying IMO), but I'm glad I did in this case. Ahh... now to see who else has updated recently!

Thanks,

Author Feedback: Thank you for the review! I'm glad this satisfied your taste-- it's funny how one can get in a mood for a certain sort of fic, isn't it? I've never actually heard of Flower Drum Song and I'm a massive musical fan... so now I'm off to find out exactly what that is... anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Aww, this story was quite endearing. I liked it. That last part when Harry places the ring on her finger, that was cute. I really like your writing style, and can't wait to read more of your stories.
Author Feedback: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Just short, sweet and simple with a dab of fluff. That's what H/Hr is... If it was Ron and Hermione, there would definitely be some bickering and an argument present. If it was Harry and Ginny, it would be awkward because neither of them can understand each other like Harry and Hermione do.

Perfect ending to a good set of one-shots. Looking forward to more H/Hr stories from you!

Cheers!!
Author Feedback: Thanks for the review, Lord Vader! I'm so glad this one was enjoyable. I couldn't agree with you more: Ron/Hermione was way too much petty arguing for a healthy relationship, and Harry doesn't seem to know very much at all about his girlfriend/wife. Oh, well, that's why I write!
Thanks again for reviewing!
